November 2013 Ipsy Bag

I'm going to go out and say that this bag was absolutely over loaded with products! It was awesome! I have really been loving my Ipsy bags. Here is what I received in my bag this month!

Starlooks Gem Eyeliner Pencil in Topaz: This is a beautiful icy blue color. This color will be great for the Christmas season. I'm glad this was in my bag because I usually don't stray from my everyday brown, or purple, or black liners. This will help me to break out of that rut. I only swatched it, but it applied very smoothly. *This is full size.*

Pixi Beauty Bronzer in Subtly Suntouched: This is my first Pixi product! I have looked at Pixi products at Target, but never purchased before. I swatched this, and while it isn't overly pigmented, I think it will make a beautiful highlighter. It gives just enough sheen.

TRESemme' Tres Two Hairspray: I love this hairspray. and I love having the mini for travel! It has a great hold!

Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Champagne: I straight up love this color! It is a beautiful rose gold color with micro holographic glitter. It is a perfect winter neutral that has enough sparkle to it. This will also be great for the Holiday's! *This is full size.*

em Pillow Plush lip balm in Vanilla: This is by Michelle Phan. This is a potted lip product. The color is a beautiful neutral with micro, micro glitter. It gives your lips shine without feeling gritty. This does feel very smooth on the lips, and you could definitely use this as a tinted lip balm.

Be a Bombshell lipcolor in Hot Damn: This is a beautiful Christmas red lip crayon. This has slight glitter, but again, you absolutely cannot feel it on your lips. This does leave a slight stain behind.I envision using this with a matte neutral eye, some Pixi bronzer as a highlight, and this on your lips. It would be the most beautiful, simple look for the Holiday season! *This is full size.*

This month overall was a fantastic month for Ipsy. I think this is definitely worth the $10 a month!

What did you get in your Ipsy bag? I'd love to hear your thoughts, leave me a comment!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

I made this lasagna recipe, and I think my grandma declared it the best thing she's ever eaten. She kept going back to the dish, and cutting off a small slice. Each time she would say, "This is so good!" So, if only she liked it, my day was made. However, every member of my family loved this dish, and I know you will too! It is a perfect way to use up Summer vegetables, and enjoy a delicious meal! My comments are in italics!
